Abstract

Possum explores a series of dramatic contradictions between animal and human, the tame and the wild, family structure and unconstrained desires and between freedom and entrapment. An engagement with animality shapes the empathy of all involved. Interpreting the paradox of the trapped trapper sharpens the audience’s experience of the film’s depth.
